Extended Hours - We would like to inform all our patients that with effect of 1st April 2017 we will no longer be providing Extended Hours on a Monday evening.

From 6th January 2017 we will be replacing all 'old style' pharmacy nominations (where we would print your prescription and it would be collected by a representative of your nominated pharmacy) with Electronic Prescription Service (EPS) pharmacy nominations. This will not affect where your prescriptions go, but simply how they get there.

You can change or remove your pharmacy nomination at any time. If you wish to do so, please let a member of staff know.
